2. If I make, etc. I is emphatic, implying that there are enough others who caused them trouble.Who then is he, etc. The thought underlying the passage, i. 24-ii. 1-3, is that the apostle's own joy is bound up with the spiritual prosperity of the Church. Compare Philip. iv. 1. As the helper of their joy he would receive joy through their faith and obedience. So long as their moral condition compelled him to come, bringing rebuke and pain, they could not be a source of joy to him. If I must needs make you sorry with merited rebuke, who can give me joy save you who are thus made sorry?

2:2 {Who qen?} (kai tis?). For this use of kai see on Mr 10:26; Joh 9:36. The kai accepts the condition (first class ei--lup") and shows the paradox that follows. lupew is old word from lupe (sorrow) in causative sense, to make sorry. {Maketh glad} (eufrainwn). Present active participle of old word from eu, well, and fren, mind, to make joyful, causative idea like lupew.
